Waterparks set out on their first headlining tour on February 9th, 2017 in Dallas, Texas, their home state. Bringing with them, Too Close To Touch and CREEPER, they made their way up the northwest to a sold out show in Portland, Oregon on February 18th at the Analog Theater.

Small-scale shows have always been some of my favorites to attend because I’m always impressed by how small crowds can often fill a room with more energy than some larger crowds I’ve seen. That energy was definitely present last Wednesday at the Analog Cafe when California bands Crooked Teeth and Such A Mess made their stop in Portland.
